The festival will consist of a variety of activities that will be spread all over the university grounds. Children and adults alike could start off with a tour of interactive science exhibits on display were they will be invited to explore and uncover the scientific principles that make our exhibits tick.
Many organisations from all walks of life will also be present to show how important science is to the running of their daily work.
Have you ever heard of edutainment? It’s merely an entertaining way of passing on
an educational message. The Malta Council for Science and Technology is using this novel approach by engaging professional scientific animators to entertain, educate and share their passion for science with all present. The animators will be performing live experiments etc.
A number of fascinating talks will also be held throughout the week. MCST intends to cover the controversial as well as the exciting so it is something that should not be missed!
If adventure isn’t your thing, there will also be a number of guides to walk participants around the grounds. There will also be a series of talks organized with a very attractive line-up of speakers covering a broad range of topics, from cutting-edge technologies to focused talks delivered experts from various scientific fields and local entities.
The project is part-financed by the European union European social fund.
